After nearly nine years in retirement, the Ready 2 Rumble series aims for a triumphant comeback in the Wii exclusive Ready 2 Rumble Revolution. Though publishing and developing rights have changed hands, Ready 2 Rumble Revolution retains the series' over-the-top pugilism, outlandishly caricatured fighters, and oratorical skills of ring announcer Michael Buffer. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to punch, counterpunch, and dodge blows from 18 new characters, each a parody of popular figures from the worlds of music, sports, and movies. Every character comes equipped with an arsenal of special moves, and "Rumble" combos let gamers pull off spectacular wrestling and martial arts attacks. "Championship Mode" lets players create their own fighter and use mini-games to hone his skill, while other single- and multiplayer modes include: "Arcade," "Quick Fight," "Team Fight," and "Tournament."
